Mian packs the heat and the flavor! Best appetizer: Chili Oil Chao Shou for its tender dumplings swimming in a tangy, spicy chili oil. For non-spicy starters, Shredded Tofu Skin, Seaweed Salad, and Pickled Cucumbers are nice, light, and refreshing. The Beef Roll Pancake was okay but with so many stronger dishes on the menu, it's probably not one I'd order again. Their noodles are amazing! The Golden Soup Chicken Noodle has the best broth - rich, savory, milky, and deeply comforting. The Spicy Beef Soup Noodles come loaded with tender beef. The Mapo Tofu Noodles carries silky tofu, spicy sauce, and a gentle numbing kick. The lively atmosphere, vibrant decor, and buzzing energy made me feel like I was dining in the middle of a bustling street market. Plenty of seating too - equally great for a solo noodle run or a group feast. Service was fast and efficient, though during busy rushes you may need to wave someone down for a quick reminder. Overall, a fun, flavorful spot that delivers on both atmosphere and Sichuan comfort food.

You know, it really is true when they say, "when one door closes, another opens". Because, as disappointing as it was to have our initial dinner plans foiled by the long line at Din Tai Fung (our fault for not having a reservation, but a two and a half hour wait on a weeknight?!), things didn't turn out all that terribly for us. After all, it's hard to be too upset when it led to us eating at such an awesome spot like Mian! Located on the first floor, directly underneath the perpetually busy Din Tai Fung, what prompted us to come here when we did may have been because it was the nearest alternative we saw, but I imagine we would have ended up here at some point anyways. For one, the decor and the artwork on their walls, in particular, are pretty eye-catching, but mostly, the menu is pretty enticing. Although it may not be super extensive, Mian has a solid selection of dishes to offer, from their Chili Oil Chau Shou, Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, and Mapo Tofu Noodles to their Thousand Year Egg with Tofu, Fried Pumpkin Pancake, and Spicy Beef Rib Noodle Soup. In short, there's plenty to choose from! -- THOUSAND YEAR EGG WITH TOFU I was super excited to try this, but, sadly, it ended up being more okay than great. The slices of tofu were decent, albeit really thin, and the eggs themselves were awesome, but the preserved vegetables on top were a bit overwhelming. -- CHILI OIL CHAO SHOU To me, the portion felt a bit light, but, to be fair, it's also because I just wanted more of this! The dumpling was perfect - the skins had just the right thickness (had a nice chew) and the filling was so meaty. Plus, the chili oil was terrific and had just a touch of heat! -- SPICY BEEF NOODLE SOUP Ehh...more solid than spectacular. The noodles were tender and the broth was decently flavorful. However, the chunks of beef felt a little inconsistent to me - some pieces were juicy while others were a bit on the chewy/tough side. -- CHENGDU ZA JIANG NOODLES While it wasn't the prettiest dish to look at, this tasted great. There was a good amount of meat and vegetables and I liked the slight kick that the sauce had. I just wish there had been more noodles to balance how much meat/veggies this had. Between how good the food is, the solid service (the workers were friendly and quick), and how convenient of an option they are, Mian is awesome spot, whether you're already going to be at South Coast or not. What's more, the prices here are relatively budget friendly as well, especially when compared to how much you might end up spending at Din Tai Fung (ignoring the fact that they're not exactly alike). Add all of that together and it makes me more than a little excited to come back whether it be here or at their outpost back home in the Bay Area!

4.5 stars I first tried Mian when they had their location in Las Vegas (with free mung bean soup!). I finally got a chance to try this location in South Coast Plaza. There was no wait for a party of two to be seated on a Saturday around 1:30PM. The interior is not that large but there are a good number of tables and the decorations are beautiful. Service was fine but minimal due to ordering via QR code. They have combination deals where you choose an appetizer, noodle dish, and beverage for $20-25 + tax, a pretty good deal. We tried two such combos and enjoyed the crispy cucumbers, golden soup wontons, hot and sour noodles, and spicy intestine noodles. We ordered passionfruit green tea and mung bean soup as our drinks. The food came out promptly. All of the food was tasty with generous portions. The golden soup has the tastiest broth in my opinion, and the mung bean soup was super refreshing. You can't go wrong with Mian for an affordable and tasty meal!

Came for their Combo set deal and it was very filling! The potions are great if you're looking to share between two people and don't want to get exceptionally full. If you order the combo for yourself, you will definitely feel very satisfied. Beef Noodle Soup (8.5/10) Not very spicy, great noodle texture, and balanced broth. This is a great beginner beef noodle soup due to the rich flavors, tender beef pieces, and mild spice. Spicy dumping (6.5/10) Love the garlic flavor and chillies that compliment the dumplings well! However the wrapper was a tad too thick and the filling felt like it was missing something. Beef Roll Pancake (7.5/10) Great flakey texture from the pancake and wrapped tightly into a roll. I definitely enjoyed the balance of cucumber and onions. The sauce used was a tad sweet in my opinion. The service was fast and using the table QR code to check out made the experience accurate and efficient. I enjoyed that there were photos on the ordering page so you can see the dishes! I appreciated the servers for coming to check in with us frequently.

We had dinner here the other night. It is located inside South Coast Plaza on the level below Din Tai. So there is ample parking. The restaurant itself is charming and has a fun vibe. We both got the $25.99 Signature Combo. You get your choice of drink, an appetizer and one of the signature bowl of noodles. For an extra $3 you can add a dessert. We got the brown sugar ginger tea and the passionfruit green tea. Both were so refreshing and tasty. For our appetizers we got the chili oil dumplings. We loved the flavor and the heat on the dumplings. The dumplings themselves were soft and filled with pork. We got the spicy sparerib noodles. I loved the bok choy. The noodles were fresh and bouncy. The meat fell off the sparerib bones. The broth was rich, warm and delicious. For dessert we got the brown sugar rice cakes. Soft, sticky mochi texture and the brown sugar was the right amount of sweetness. The pumpkin cakes were soft and delicious. I loved the grated coconut on top. In addition to the signature combo, we added spicy cucumbers. They were crispy and just the right amount of heat. The vegetable fried rice was delicious and so flavorful that we ate all of it. We also got a cold combo with seaweed salad, wooden mushrooms and beef. It was perfect to break up some of heat from the noodles and dumplings. Wonderful service and large portions will make this your new soup noodle spot.

We always plan our dinner or lunch stop here when we shop in south coast Never disappointed

I've been working at the mall for about five years and I come here every time, every time I come here, I am fully satisfied with their food I always get the spicy soup and it hits the spot just right I highly recommend you guys try this place and bring your friends and family because with such great customer service share the love.

Came here for the all you can eat for $30 OC Restaurant Week deal. True to their word, everything on the menu was fair game (except soft drinks which is $5 more). I ordered all the popular items such as Beef Roll Pancake, Shrimp Fried Rice, Mapo Tofu Noodles, Steamed Egg Pork, Pork Shrimp Fried Dumpling, etc. The dishes were delicious and my mouth had the spicy zing feeling after eating sichuan spices. My favorites were the Mapo Tofu, Fried Dumplings, and Beef Roll Pancake which were all delicious and had a premier flavor. The fried rice could've used more flavor, which is why it's best accompanied by chili oil. Great food overall for a limited time deal.

Markus T.

So I heard this is a Michelin awarded restaurant here in Costa Mesa. Being at South Coast Plaza I thought it was a treat since I was doing a little shopping in the neighborhood. I decided to order the combo which was 25.99 which included boba milk tea, spicy beef noodles, and chili oil dumplings. With the combo, you could've chosen other types of combos. I was told the one I ordered was the most popular. The dishes were seasoned beautifully with a slightly spicy taste. The noodles were delicious with immense flavor. The beef, I have to say, was so tender and juicy. The dumplings were soft, squishy, and had the best chili oil sauce I've ever had. It's worth the price and worth checking out sometime.

Megan O.

We tried Mian during OC restaurant week and took advantage of the $30 all you can eat special they offered. The all you can eat included full portioned dishes, anything on the menu. If you wanted unlimited drinks it was an extra $5, which was totally worth it! Food- 8/10. Food was yummy! I loved being able to have all you can eat so we could try many dishes. I loved the cucumbers and dumplings. The rice was a little bland but had a lot of shrimp! The drinks were good, but I wish there was a little extra sweetness to them. Service- 10/10. Everyone was so kind and helpful! Carroll was great and helped us with everything! Restaurant- 9/10. The restaurant had a lot of seating! They had sit down and to-go options. They also had a viewing area where they made the food, which was cool. The restaurant was clean and organized. It's in the South Coast Mall, so there are lots of shops around and parking. We went at 3:30pm and there was no wait.

Connie Y.

Ok we are officially pigs. We did the all you can eat Mian OC Restaurant Week. Started strong with the Mian Cold noodle combo, steamed egg with minced pork, sesame balls, chili oil Chão shou, hot and sour chao shou, shrimp and pork pot stickers, shrimp fried rice, chicken in chili oil, and beef rib. We are officially stuffed. Definitely come here when you are hungry and in South Coast Plaza. The staff are amazing! It's downstairs from Din Tai Fung. Happy Yelping!

This chain is finally coming to South Coast plaza. Perfect comfort food! I had: 1. Value combo: spicy beef noodles, brown sugar milk tea, chili oil dumplings, pumpkin rice pancake 2. Pickled cucumber 3. Tomato & beef noodles 4. Chicken gizzard noodles 5. Mango boba light milk 6. Fried Chinese donuts with sweet soy milk - simple yet so delicious!

Honestly, the Sichuan style noodles here are pretty good. There is an old school Chinese spot in the bay that I used to frequent as a kid (queue nostalgic music) when my parents were separating... and these noodles reminded me of their "Dan Dan Noodle" aka what my dad would call "Chinese Spaghetti. I remember those noodles to be half the price, double the size; but I guess this is 2024, not 1998. The flavor itself is great. I don't know if the spicy is is even spicy, so if you like spice, definitely go for the extra spicy. I won't make that mistake next time. I don't understand the egg. It was baiscally an over-hard-well-done egg. Somehow I think a runny or maybe even slightly jammy egg like in ramen would be be better here. Maybe that's a Sichuan practice I'm not aware of. Didn't add anything to the dish. (Sans, a few extra grams of protein) Service was.... well service. On an random Wednesday, practically empty, I was promptly seated, ordered, and was given my food within 5 minutes. a Carafe of water is given, so need to watch over. I did have to flag the server to get my bill, but I guess that's by design as to not rush people. Overall, I'd maybe try it again, or something else on the menu.... however $17 including tip was a bit on the high side for the portion. Then again, this is located in SCP. read more

located inside the mall, this place is a delicious sichuan noodle house thats worth the visit. They have a 20$ and 25$ deal that gives you a noodle main dish, a side dish, and a drink. It allows you to share all sorts of food if you go with your friends. I got the 25$ deal with the beef noodle and the passion fruit lemonade drink. I'd recommend both in a heartbeat.

Went here because I noticed their Michelle's sticker they had outside their restaurant. We got sat pretty instantly and it was a Wednesday around an hour before closing. The menu is on a QR code and you order on your phone when you're ready. As a first timer here we got a bit of what we thought we'd like. I think the food was okay, and my favorite was the noodle soup we got. I don't really recommend the others as the pork wonton was a bit dense and oddly packed. The beef rolls needed more cilantro and a dipping sauce. It was kinda shocking that it only came with 4 pieces. Service at the end is good, they helped us pack left overs and they were making sure we didn't forget my bag I had on the floor. I'd go back for the noodle soup but I'd skip on the apps or try different ones. read more

Yummy food 一I recently tried MIAN at South Coast Plaza and had a pretty good experience overall. The noodles were flavorful, especially the spicy beef noodle soup, which had a rich broth with a nice balance of heat and aroma. The dumplings with chili oil were also a highlight. For a restaurant inside a mall, the quality was surprisingly solid and the prices were reasonable. The service was quick and the space was clean and comfortable. While it may not be the most authentic Sichuan food compared to places in San Gabriel Valley, it's still a reliable and convenient option when you're shopping nearby. read more

Menu and ordering is through the QR code on the table that you scan with your phone. After ordering, the food came out quick. I tried Mapo tofu noodles for the first time and I thought it was a good dish. The noodles were chewy, and the ground meat and tofu were tasty and had a good balance of spice. The shredded bean curd was refreshing and a good accompaniment to the spicy and numbing noodles. read more

It's a casual spot for noodles/noodle soup. I personally like the rice noodles here. Lots of options to choose from. I've been to their other locations in LA, Artesia, and Honolulu. All of which were better in service and taste than at this location. While the food isn't bad, the South Coast Plaza location lacks precision and attention to details. For example, rather than placing the green veggies and cilantro/green onions on top of the noodles, the ingredients seem sloppily tossed here. Taste-wise, it also doesn't taste quite as delicate as the other locations. The interior though, is modern and clean. Not a bad choice if you crave Mian in OC. read more

Stopped by South Coast Plaza today and decided to try 滋味小面 -- honestly such a pleasant surprise. I was just looking for something quick, but the moment the noodles came out, the aroma already got me. The broth is really flavorful without being overly salty, with a mild kick that's super comforting. The noodles have a great chewy texture -- not soggy at all. What I loved most is that "simple but really satisfying" feeling. It reminds me of those authentic noodle spots back in China -- nothing fancy, just really well done. The place is clean and cozy too. For a spot inside South Coast Plaza, it's actually a great find. Perfect quick meal while shopping Great if you're craving something warm and comforting read more

First thing was way too many noodles that completely absorbed the broth and I said way too many I'm not exaggerating, it was more like a noodle pudding. I just wanted a comforting soup but I guess I'll just have wet noodles instead. The flavor was good which make me feel more positive about this experience, I haven't even make it to half of my soup (not soup) I decided to try the quail eggs, I'm not sure if they already have them boiled or they boil them with the broth but they were bad, they had a really strong unpleasant taste like they were going bad and that taste stayed in my mouth for several minutes, I just kept drinking soda and the uncomfortable feeling then traveled to my throat, the taste was so strong that I just felt pretty much disgusted with the whole soup. I just covered with the lid and throw it away. I'm glad I ordered rice because that was all I ended up eating. Extremely disappointed, I hate being miserable with bad food and wasting away money in a business that seem not to care about how they serve their food. I'm glad I didn't get sick.

I have experienced Mian's Sichuan cuisine at various locations in California and Nevada. It's noteworthy that successful restaurants often expand to multiple locations, indicating their quality. I find it intriguing that each Mian location offers somewhat different menu items. Since different chefs prepare the food, there are variations in the taste profiles as well. Overall, I usually enjoy all the dishes I try at Mian. My recent visit to Mian at the South Coast location was exciting and lived up to my expectations. The ordering process through the phone was convenient. Although I couldn't find my favorite noodle dish (spicy cold noodles) on the menu, I discovered a variety of soup and dry noodle options unique to this location. While the appetizers were consistent, I noticed that the portion of steamed egg was smaller compared to the Rowland Heights branch. The cucumber salad had a slightly more vinegary taste than I'm accustomed to, but it served as a refreshing side dish. The shredded tofu salad was a tasty appetizer to start with before the main noodle dish. The Chendu Zhajiang noodles had a different flavor compared to other locations, but I enjoyed the sweetness of the sauce, which leaned more towards soy sauce than black bean. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the minced pork, bok choy, and fried egg toppings complemented the dish well. Although the pork and shrimp pan-fried dumplings were delicious, they were served slightly cold, and I would have preferred them to be hot. Despite this, all the dishes I ordered were served promptly, and the overall service was quick. For those looking to explore something beyond the long lines at Din Tai Fung, I recommend giving Mian a try for a different dining experience. read more

Nestled within the bustling South Coast Plaza Mall in Costa Mesa, MIAN is a delightful find for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine, particularly its renowned Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The atmosphere at MIAN strikes a balance between casual and inviting decor. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Lushan, my server, whose attentive and helpful nature set the tone for the visit. Lushan was knowledgeable about the menu and eager to offer suggestions, which made the experience feel personalized and welcoming. I ordered the highly recommended Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. This dish truly lived up to its reputation. One of the standout features is the ability to customize the heat level, allowing diners to tailor the spice to their preferences. I opted for a medium spice, and it was perfectly balanced, providing a warm kick without overwhelming the palate. The broth was rich and flavorful, packed with tender beef and perfectly cooked noodles that absorbed the delightful flavors. Next, I ordered the beef roll pancake. This dish featuring a generous amount of beef filling wrapped in a crispy pancake. The combination of textures was delightful crunchy on the outside, succulent on the inside. Each bite was hearty and satisfying, making it a great complement to the soup. Whether you're at South Coast Plaza for shopping or just looking for a delicious dining option, I highly recommend MIAN. read more

Mian is like that one friend who promises to tone it down but still shows up with extra energy. I ordered the beef stew noodle and, being cautious, asked for mild--because who needs fire in their mouth, right? Well, Mian heard me but still brought some heat. Not enough to send me running, but enough to make me wonder what 'mild' actually means here. Spoiler: it's got a kick. The food itself? Delicious. The beef was tender, the noodles soaked up all the goodness of the broth, and I could tell it was crafted with care. The ambiance added a nice touch, too--think Asian night market vibes without the crowds, making it feel like you're on a mini vacation. The service was great. They checked in just the right amount, like a good waiter should--attentive but not hovering. And while the portion wasn't massive, it was enough to leave me satisfied. Now, I have to mention a previous visit, because it's worth noting. My friend asked for no spice--zero, nada--and what did they do? Brought her a mildly spicy dish and a glass of water to 'fix it.' Points for creativity, but maybe next time just remake the dish? All in all, Mian has some quirks, but it's definitely worth a visit if you're craving bold flavors and a side of adventure. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at the Mian in Cerritos, so I was expecting the same at this location in South Coast Plaza. Alas, I was disappointed. Starting with service, while the restaurant wasn't too busy and there was no line, the servers kept walking past me while tending to other customers. I didn't feel very welcomed. The ordering system is efficient, if a little impersonal. After seating me at the counter, the server simply directed me to the QR code on the table to order. The downside of this system is that there's no way to ask for any recommendation, and it wasn't easy if I had any question about the selection. Once again, I felt abandoned. After placing the order online, my bowl of noodle came quickly. Diving into my jajiangmian, I felt plenty of the spicy burn, but not much flavor. It was a strange experience. Perhaps I should have ordered a soup noodle, but I grew wary after reading multiple reviews of the broth being too salty. Overall, it was a letdown, and I am also annoyed by the string of potentially fake five-star reviews from brand new accounts with similar wording. You can't cheat the system and expect not to get noticed. I'll go back to the Cerritos location next time. read more

I recently dined at Mian Sichuan Gourmet Noodles and tried a few of their dishes, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed! Beef Mountain Noodles (DINE IN ONLY): These noodles were an absolute delight. The clear beef broth was rich and flavorful, complementing the tender beef and perfectly cooked noodles. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was visually appealing. Definitely a must-try if you're a fan of hearty noodle dishes. Chengdu Zajiang Noodles: These noodles were a fantastic blend of flavors. The zajiang sauce had just the right amount of spice and savory taste, making every bite enjoyable. The addition of fresh greens and a perfectly cooked egg made the dish even more satisfying. Pork and Sweet Corn Pan Fried Dumpling: These dumplings were delicious. The crispy exterior was cooked to perfection, and the filling was a wonderful combination of savory pork and sweet corn. The accompanying dipping sauce added an extra layer of flavor that tied the whole dish together beautifully. Overall, each dish was well-prepared and full of authentic flavors. I highly recommend Mian Sichuan Gourmet Noodles for anyone looking to enjoy some quality Asian cuisine. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mian in Costa Mesa, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. The star of the show, however, was the food. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece. The hand-pulled noodles were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chewiness, and the flavors were rich and authentic. The spicy beef noodle soup had a perfect balance of heat and savory depth, while the dumplings were delicate and packed with flavor. What truly sets Mian apart is their commitment to quality and authenticity. Each bite transported us to the heart of traditional Chinese cuisine. The ingredients were fresh, and the attention to detail in the preparation was evident. Overall, Mian is a gem in Costa Mesa. Whether you're a fan of Chinese cuisine or just looking for a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend giving Mian a visit. You won't be disappointed! Feel free to adjust any details to better match your personal experience. read more

Had a great experience at Mian. We ordered the beef roll pancakes, spicy black fungus, and chili oil dumplings, and everything was flavorful and well prepared. The beef roll pancakes were probably my favorite -- the beef was tender, the pancake had a nice texture, and the flavor was balanced perfectly without being too heavy. The spicy black fungus was refreshing with a good kick of spice and The chili oil dumplings were also really good; the dumplings themselves were cooked well, and the garlic chili sauce paired perfectly with them and added a lot of flavor without overpowering the dish. The ambience of the restaurant was clean, modern, and comfortable, making it a nice place to sit down and enjoy the meal. Service was also very fast and efficient -- our food came out in less than 15 minutes. Overall, a really solid spot for flavorful Chinese food with quick service and a great atmosphere.

I stopped in at Mian Sichuan Gourmet Noodles at South Coast Plaza for a quick lunch while shopping and was pleasantly surprised. Service was quick and attentive, and the restaurant itself was extremely clean and was't too noisy, which made for a nice break from the crowded mall. I ordered the spicy beef soup noodle, and it turned out to be one of the better versions I've had. The broth had just the right kick without being overpowering and was flavorful yet clean. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not too soft or too firm, and the beef was tender with a good portion alongside fresh bok choy. What really stood out was the small amount of finely chopped celery added as a garnish at the end with cilantro. It gave each bite a subtle crunch that elevated the whole dish. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying noodle meal, and I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu. read more

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately had a negative experience with one of the female waitresses. Not only was the service incredibly slow, but the waitress seemed disinterested and provided poor service throughout the meal. We had to constantly ask for refills and other basic necessities, and it felt like we were a burden to her. On the positive side, there was one male waiter with dyed hair who really stood out. Despite not being our assigned waiter, he noticed our frustrations and went out of his way to assist us. He was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. While we appreciated his help, it was disappointing that we had to rely on a different waiter for good service. Overall, I would caution others about the poor and slow service from the female waitress and suggest that the restaurant needs to work on improving their staff training. read more

So this place is below din tai fun and a popular udon place is right next to it. I'm honestly stunned it's not packed more often, Service: 10/10, the people who work here work very hard and are very attentive, they want you to be happy, got some great recommendations from my server (believe her name was Jennifer). Food is great. Last 2 times I was here I had the dry noodles changdu noodles, which were phenomenal. I actually liked them with no spice, vs mild, even mild has a bit of bite of eat, so it you like spicy mild may be enough. Today I got the braised pork soup, it is very good, little peppery but just right. Highly recommend you try it here, come with a friend so you guys can share/try a few things At the time of this review this place has 3.5 stars, which I find to grossly understate the quality of my dining experience. read more
